The days seem to be going by a little faster and mood is a little better. Mouth still bothering me went to one DR and got referred to another where i will be going tomorrow.

I finally got to the computer to read pm's from people that sent me messages with their phone numbers. It is greatly appreciated, especially after getting jumped for posting late. Getting jumped doesn't really bother me too much its a good thing, yea at the time i got a little heated but i was going through some small stuff where i couldn't get on the internet till was around WiFi and damn sure don't have the money to keep going over on my bill. I know someone will say well you found the money to always buy snuff... but however in my case no i didn't when the house, boat, electricity, cars, truck, and phone bills came in if all we had was enough to buy food for the table i wouldn't buy snuff, or when we did have a little leftover if my wife needed something that's what id buy.

Does that mean I'm not an addict? FUCK no I know I am an addict if we were low on funds it would be nothing for me to only take two dips that day but leave them in about 4-8 hours at a time. I was a different type of addict i guess you could say snuff didn't come first for the most part but when i did have the money i would practically drown myself in that nasty shit, or when a family member would make a trip to Louisiana, which they did quite often, i would have them buy bulk grizzly red was only $9 a roll in Louisiana.

the only thing i think should be done differently is find out why the person couldn't post early in a sensible manner then go from there. But o well people will be who they are and that's what makes this world so great no body is the same.

Thank you to everyone here.

Last night for me was terrible. I literally thought i was dying. Throat and chest was tight. Right side of my face was numb, jaw, teeth, tongue, and neck felt weird. Knee and elbows hurt like i was sick with the flu. Now this morning white patches formed on my top lip not really on the inside of my lip but on the outside. Look like a bunch of little white dots and then a small patch. Which is really weird because i never packed my snuff on top. Always on bottom. But i believe i was having a bit of a anxiety/panic attack last night thinking about everything that was feeling weird and worrying myself too much. This morning felt a lot better except now just wondering whats on my top lip.

Best part of this whole story is honestly while all this was going on i didn't have the slightest bit of craving to put a dip in. Which i know it can sneak up on me anytime if i let my guard down but it did feel very good not even wanting one while going through that.

Thank you guys for being here for me and anyone else that needs yall!

P.S what the fuck were we thinking ever starting that nasty shit

Ty.
Wow how many times I have felt and read the same story you just posted. Go ahead and schedule you an appointment and get you some piece of mind. Anxiety is a dirty trick played on us by the nic whore. I've been down same road to many times. Just got through reading post where young man had somewhat same symptoms went to dentist and everything was fine. Nothing wrong with reassurance, just remember why your so concerned before you ever stick that shit back in your mouth! Quit on! Try to enjoy being free!
Yea Pab i think mon or tue going to just go ahead and go to dentist. Probably need to anyway, haven't been in shit don't remember last time, however i do keep up with my teeth but that doesn't matter cant brush away anything that nasty ass snuff could've done. What i was feeling last night is a very good crutch to remind myself of why i am never going to put snuff in my mouth again.

Its crazy thie mind games that shit does
Salty, it does play mind games with you. I went through a similar experience with a "white patch" that took forever to leave and and back a few times after dipping. I went to a mouth cancer specialist b/c I was so worried. It was only a $100, he did a through search and told me I didn't have cancer "yet" but if I went back to the can I would. In my case it turned out it was part of the healing process and I was irritating it with fake.

Since all that crap, I have had no issues and my dentist says all looks very healthy.

My father dipped for 35 years or so, he quit about 4 years ago and luckily doesn't have cancer, but has had many issues and saw a periodontist alot until recently.

Wish you the best on your visit!
Thank you sir. Glad to hear all went well with you and your pops.

This forum definitely helps A LOT.

Day 7 is going a lot better than day 6. Early teal season, big duck season, and dove season is coming up in south Texas, that being said i guess whats making today a little better is wife said i can do some shopping for any decoy or gear needed. So here i am switching back and forth from Cabelas website and KTC. What works best for me is forgetting about snuff and nicotine period, but realizing that it can always come back and get me if i let it especially this early into the quit.

I'm going to post to my intro every single day so i can use it as a sort of journal i can always come back to and read through.

Thank you fellow brothers for all the help

Well done! keep adding those +1s bro. Some of them might suck at the moment, but there is a price to be paid for your freedom... and I promise it is worth it. The only way you will know is to get to the other side.

Quit with you today, friend.
